Yes. Most children, if given the choice, will elect to buy or eat junk food. There are too many…Read More preservatives and artificial ingredients in these enticing food. In addition, the portion sizes in package, in which we are lead to assume is 1 serving, are too large. When have you ever encountered a child that eats only half a bag of chips, even though the bag is 2 servings?
On the flip side, given no choice and an array of healthy foods children will opt to eat fruit and vegetables if they are presented with them.
I have worked in a school for the past 13 years and over time, have noticed the above. Sometimes kids need help making better choices and sometimes no choice is a good choice, when presented with one option being better than the other.

Really cancer, heard disease and diabetes are at record highs. I guess all the junk food had…Read More nothing to do with it.. By the way we even the junk food of today is worst than it was years ago back then they used real sugar, now its all chemicals, GMO, and who knows what else, is in our food. Anything to make a buck!
Government isn't telling you what to feed your kids your more than welcome to go to the store and pack them a box of junk to bring to school.

Please, many generations grew up with junk food and are doing JUST FINE...Do we really need the…Read More goverment telling us what our children can OR CAN"T eat?...I ate yodels and twinkies and drank lots of soda...I was never fat, had lots of fun and was socially well-adjusted....I was an active kid who got plenty of excercise...My parents never took away the joy of eating criminal jaw-breakers or dangerous potato chips or slurping down on, well, a sugar sweet Slurpee...Solution: take the video game out of the kids hand, take the heavy kid to the gym and police the food in your own home...That's part of one's job as a parent ...If a kid is otherwise healthy but overweight, have the parent look in the mirror and point straight ahead at the culprit...And keep the damn government out of our stomachs!!!
